CHAOS THEORY

AN OPEN-LORE MODERN FANTASY ROLEPLAY

establishedjune 2015

settled upon the coast of maine, u.s.a., lies a city for the wild and the whimsical - mythril city. though appearing normal and mundane on the surface, venturing into its depths quickly disproves that sentiment. wandering the streets of mythril are witches and mythical creatures of all kinds, content to make their own lives in this city steeped in legends - yet in such a menagerie, it should be no surprise that there's drama around every corner. chaos theory focuses on casual roleplay and member-driven plots while allowing you to help us create a rich and diverse world by letting you create the species, so come, join the chaos.

ctpedia is where you can find all of our extended reading for chaos theory, being the source of all member-created information. threads in here should be read whenever the subject becomes relevant to you, and you are required to abide by the lore that has been set here. ctpedia is primarily used as a bestiary, a source of information on the various races, though additional pieces of information can be found in our miscellaneous board.

for all your plotting needs, this board is here to discuss anything pertaining to characters and plots. inside you’ll find all our plot pages, as well as a sub-board for wanted ads, custom groups, plotline planning and thread trackers. basically, this board is for all things that require some plotting out!

once an event is closed to new threads, it will officially be considered to be in the past. event boards will be moved here once closed so that members may continue posting in the threads that were made before the event was closed. sorted in chronological order for ease of searching.

as the heart and soul of mythril, it’s no surprise that downtown buzzes with activity at all hours of the day. it’s the center of commerce and business in mythril, with a multitude of stores and clubs making up the commercial side. over on the business side, the landscape is dotted with high-rise office buildings that overlook the silverspoons district. the river fey snakes through downtown, leading to a variety of businesses built on the river banks.

located furthest from the sea, mythril’s residential district has that small-town feel despite being the largest district in mythril. the atmosphere is tranquil and relaxing, allowing for families to live in peace here. along with housing, there are small businesses dotted around, including convenience stores, takeouts, even clinics and salons.

located at the edge of the city, it’s no surprise mythril’s former industrial district has metal as a common material to its various structures, of which workshops, warehouses and factories make up a large amount. silverspoons has turned into mythril’s slums, though you’re more probably more likely to visit some of the trade shops, of which weapon and ingredient shops are common. crime runs rampant here in silverspoons, making it a very undesirable place to live.

formerly part of silverspoons, keystone has since transformed into a district of its own thanks to urban renewal initiatives. nestled between silverspoons and meadowside, this now-lavish district has street performers and vendors lining its cobblestoned streets outside the public areas, such as the museums and arts quarter. this is the culture center of mythril, and it’s no surprise why.

praised for its refreshing atmosphere, delphin bay is a popular destination for residents and tourists alike. lining the beach is a promenade that contains shops and restaurants, including alejandro’s, a restaurant known for its cheap but good food. its beaches aren’t like the caribbeans, but they’re definitely sandy. on a small island connected to the beach by a bridge is candy island, a rival to coney island, and at the other end of the bay is kings’ way, the neighbourhood for mythril’s upper-class.

separating mythril from the rest of civilisation is a region ‘affectionately’ nicknamed the wilds. there are very few roads and manmade structures, leading to a largely rural landscape. the wilds are mainly forested, with small meadows where the woodland gets thinner. off in the distance are the mountains from which the river faye flows from. travelling through the mountains will eventually lead you to the appalachian mountain range. hidden throughout the wilds are various landmarks, leading to an untamed wilderness full of surprises… and creatures.

looking to go beyond the reaches of mythril? like somewhere in the united states, or somewhere else in the world? or even to another realm? this is for you; any and every location that isn’t mythril can be found lumped into this board here.

perhaps you're looking to thread in the past, or in an alternative universe, or maybe you're looking to thread a phone call or im conversation. in both cases, this is the board for you. just be sure to specify details in the title, description or in the post itself!
